Im 14 and weigh 119 pounds is that too much to do ballet and become an advance student?

Question

i have done ballet for 2 yrs but that was 2 yrs ago and i am starting up in 3 weeks again should i lose a lil weight before class or just tone up or something please help

Answer 1

It's all about how you feel. I'm 12st5(which is.... er... 12 times 14, plus 5... 173lb) and I'm heading into Advanced 1. I know I could stand to lose a lot of weight, but aside from arabesques that won't go any higher because there's too much bum in the way, it doesn't affect my dancing.

Answer 2

It depends on how tall you are really.

If you are tall its a good weight.

If you are below 5'7 its too much.

Im 15, 5'4 and 105 pounds. My waist is 26 inches. Ive been dancing for 12 years.

Answer 3

that weight is prefectly fine most of our dancers at that age are around that size  im 13 and i weigh are 110 maybe.  You dont need to loose weight in my opinoin

Answer 4

depends how tall u are!!!!

Answer 5

wow.. a waistline that doesnt exceed 25 or 26!? i guess my dancing career is over haha

well ill be 15 this summer, and im starting my 13th year of dance (and ballet) and im like 140 lbs (and im actually a pretty good dancer)

you dont need to lose any weight, ballet creates muscle and muscle weighs more than fat

dont stress, you're just fine =]

Answer 6

No that seems like a good weight.  But it really depends on how tall you are.

Answer 7

The ballet will probably help you lose weight but you could try doing some excercise to lose a bit of weight beforehand if you want to. Look at a healthy eating plan aswell.

Answer 8

maybe... 2 be an advanced student, take 3-4 days of ballet training to go on pointe.... yes you could lose a little weight

:D

Answer 9

i think you should do a diet but not the diet that you will not eat anymore , you should have a diet because if you don't then it will be hard for you to dance and a ballet dancer must have a waist line not exceeding 26 or 25
